Stem-cell therapy for diabetes mellitus

Lancet

Abstract

Curative therapy for diabetes mellitus mainly implies replacement of functional insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells, with pancreas or islet-cell transplants. However, shortage of donor organs spurs research into alternative means of generating beta cells from islet expansion, encapsulated islet xenografts, human islet cell-lines, and stem cells. Stem-cell therapy here implies the replacement of diseased or lost cells from progeny of pluripotent or multipotent cells. Both embryonic stem cells (derived from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst) and adult stem cells (found in the postnatal organism) have been used to generate surrogate beta cells or otherwise restore beta-cell functioning. Recently, Andreas Lechner and colleagues failed to see transdifferentiation into pancreatic beta cells after transplantation of bone-marrow cells into mice (Diabetes 2004; 53: 616-23). Last year, Jayaraj Rajagopal and colleagues failed to derive beta cells from embryonic stem cells (Science 2003; 299: 363). However, others have seen such effects. WHERE NEXT? As in every emerging field in biology, early reports seem confusing and conflicting. Embryonic and adult stem cells are potential sources for beta-cell replacement and merit further scien...Continue Reading
